Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 612 - 611 Steadiness

Jiang Cheng could only turn to the Guo Family to solve his problem; no one else could provide astronauts for him.

So Jiang Cheng quickly contacted Major General Xiang Dong and asked him to help get in touch with people from the Guo Family to see if they could provide a few astronauts.

Upon hearing that Jiang Cheng needed astronauts, the people from the Guo Family were quite proactive.

They directly informed Jiang Cheng that they could provide several astronauts and even allowed him to choose any astronaut to take with him immediately.

The Guo Family was already quite familiar with the plan Jiang Cheng wanted to carry out.

After all, Jiang Cheng's aerospace technology company was a project in collaboration with the Guo Family.

The Guo Family had always been well-informed about what this aerospace technology company was doing.

When they learned that Jiang Cheng was preparing for the Mars landing plan, they were very supportive of the endeavor. Although Jiang Cheng had always led this plan, if he succeeded, it would also greatly benefit Flame Country.

Being the first to send humans to Mars would significantly boost Flame Country's international prestige.

If the first person to land on Mars was from Flame Country, it would be a highly honorable achievement to speak of.

Moreover, such a grand project would surely be recorded in human history, leaving a deep mark there.

Officials especially loved these kinds of affairs, which is why they were so enthusiastic. They even let Jiang Cheng personally go to the space agency to choose, representing the utmost support.

After receiving a response from the Guo Family, Jiang Cheng went to the training base at the space agency.

This training base was where the Guo Family trained astronauts, although the astronauts trained there would remain within the base.

In the absence of space missions, these astronauts would engage in routine training work at this base.

The person responsible for receiving Jiang Cheng was a middle-aged man who had always been in charge of managing the astronauts, and he was dispatched this time to meet Jiang Cheng.

President Jiang, here is the list of astronauts. All of Guo Family's astronauts are on this list.

I've been instructed to cooperate fully with you. As soon as you pick someone, you can take them immediately.

The middle-aged man spoke to Jiang Cheng with a flattering smile.

Jiang Cheng didn't feel any discomfort with the middle-aged man's attitude.

He simply said to the middle-aged man calmly, "I understand. Let me first take a look at this list."

Jiang Cheng's tone was very calm, as if everything was perfectly normal.

Jiang Cheng's status and position now were entirely different from before; he was now a prominent figure.

He was quite accustomed to such praise from minor people, having experienced it many times before.

However, something about the man's words felt odd to Jiang Cheng, almost as if he were a customer at a brothel selecting women he liked.

He was here to select astronauts, not for some kind of special transaction.

But Jiang Cheng merely mocked this thought inwardly and didn't concern himself further with how strange the man's words were.

He had important business to attend to and no time to worry about this minor figure's affairs.

The selection of astronauts was extremely crucial; the success of the Mars landing plan largely depended on the astronauts' quality.

If Jiang Cheng could pick the best astronauts, the plan could be said to be half successful.

Thus, Jiang Cheng was very attentive to this matter and started reviewing the list in front of him.

This list recorded all of Flame Country's astronauts, including those who had performed space missions.

These astronauts who had performed space missions were the best among their peers.

They had the best training results and had undergone more extended training than others.

This might be why the Guo Family chose them for space missions, as they were the best among all the astronauts.

Jiang Cheng paid more attention to these astronauts with space experience, carefully studying their profiles.

He most desired these astronauts with space experience, as selecting them for the Mars landing mission seemed a safer choice.

There would inevitably be some nervousness for those going to space for the first time, while these astronauts who had traveled in space would be much steadier than newcomers.

Moreover, the trip to Mars would be a long journey, likely taking over a year for a round trip.

Without choosing experienced astronauts, unexpected situations might arise.

Finally, Jiang Cheng set his sights on these experienced astronauts and began selecting suitable candidates among them.

But there was no telling their good or bad qualities just by their profiles.

Their records were so outstanding, with no blemishes in their achievements.

Jiang Cheng found it hard to determine who among them was better solely by looking at the profiles; each one was just so excellent.

Astronauts chosen by the Guo Family for space missions couldn't have any shortcomings, making it difficult for Jiang Cheng to select the right candidate among them.

Since profiles didn't suffice to choose the right candidate, Jiang Cheng decided to meet these astronauts in person.

Jiang Cheng then said to the middle-aged man, "I can't discern much just by looking at the profiles. I need to meet them in person to decide on the final candidate."

Can you take me to see these astronauts face-to-face? I want to meet those who have been to space. There's no need to see those who haven't been on space missions.

Jiang Cheng was very cautious about the astronaut selection; while all these astronauts were equally excellent, he wanted to choose the best few.

He was very strict on this matter, not allowing any compromises.

Jiang Cheng felt that merely sitting here reviewing profiles wasn't effective; the information on paper could be deceiving. He believed that only what he saw with his own eyes was the most truthful.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng decided to personally select the astronauts and had the person receiving him take him to meet them.

Only after meeting them in person could Jiang Cheng make the final choice. "Of course, no problem! Meet as much as you like, Jiang Cheng. The higher-ups have already instructed us to comply with all your requests."

"Since you want to meet them personally, I'll take you to see them on-site. These astronauts are currently in training, so you can observe their capabilities firsthand."
